Theater For Young Audiences – Thank you!

The REAA Board of Directors would like to thank everyone who came out for our production of “The King’s New Clothes” and “Thumbelina” on April 28 and April 29. We’d also like to thank the Production staff; Sarah Worrest – Producer, Jennifer Finn – Director, and Justine Goetz – Director.

Congratulations also to the cast for their dedication and hard work over the past several weeks. In addition to being wonderful actors, the cast donated home-made refreshments to sell and gift baskets to raffle off during the shows.

Summer Musical – 2018 update

Sadly, we have not been able to find a venue to perform a summer music that would be financially viable. Therefore, we have decided to not sponsor a summer musical.

We will look ahead to the fall and winter of 2018 to begin preparing other REP programs including a One Act Play festival in October.

One Act Play Festival

Performances will take place late October – 2018

The River’s Edge Players is the Community Theater arm of the River’s Edge Arts Alliance. The River’s Edge Players was formed in 2006 to fill a need for an adult-based theatrical group. Initially for adult performers only, REP has expanded to include actors of all ages to produce high-quality plays and musicals. We partner with local community education programs to offer workshops in auditioning, improv, musical theater dance, play writing and acting.

River’s Edge Players Performance History

Spring 2018 – Theater for Young Audiences; Thumbelina and The King’s New Clothes

The River’s Edge Arts Alliance is pleased to announce that EMACT, the Eastern Massachusetts Association of Community Theaters, has named the following River’s Edge Players as part of their Distinguished Achievement and Special Honors (DASH) for their performance work on One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, directed by Lynne Johnson.

Hudson Resident, Kevin Santos took home the award for Best Supporting Actor in a Play for his amazing portrayal of the role of Martini. Tying for the award of Best Youth Actor in a Play was college freshman Ryan Bonner of Boylston, MA for his fantastic portrayal of the young and impressionable Billy Bibbit in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest performed in April. The DASH awards are part of a long standing EMACT tradition, with 118 plays and musicals from well-known Community Theater groups from Eastern Massachusetts competing for awards.

The River’s Edge Arts Alliance is a non-profit organization which brings the full spectrum of the arts to the Hudson and Marlborough area. We offer opportunities to experience visual and performing arts through participation and attendance. The organization is supported by individuals, families, organizations, and businesses from more than 30 communities. For more information visit upwitharts.org.
